Bug#783618: systemd: journald ignores MaxLevelKMsg=warning

[Alexander Wuerstlein]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * After noticing that journald fills dmesg with irrelevant messages
     such as:
> syslog:info  : [2730378.422878] systemd-journald[4060]: Deleted empty journal /var/log/journal/c2544241fd44405fba80ed9cf7fe0f29/user-31146 at c21ba3b937144879a1feba0ae91775ae-0000000000000000-0000000000000000.journal (8388608 bytes).
   * I read the documentation and tried to suppress those messages
     (since they are loglevel info) by adding MaxLevelKMsg=warning to
     journald.conf 
   * I would have expected said messages to be no longer logged to
     dmesg/kmsg.
   * Yet those messages still appear in dmesg.
